Roads Are Coming.

Frightening with the summer days, the
railroad situation becomes full Of hope and
promise. A Chicago Inter Ocean CORES
pondent, writing from Sioux City, says:
A summary of the railroads of Sioux
City shows five great trunk lines, with ten
roads and branches leading out In all direc-
tions. And several more are being con-
structed at rapid rate. For example, the
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul company is
now constructing branch from this city
to its main trunk sline at Manila, and is
nearly ready for the rolling stock Within
few months that company will be run
ming two magnificent trains per day, with
Chicago through Sioux City, to Bismarck,
D. Ia distance of over 800 miles without
change of cars.
ooh, but this is merely the talk of a
booming correspondent" you say. All
right. Read this, which is a portion of an
advertisement placed in last Sundays In
ter Ocean by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul company, endeavoring to bring
people and capital to the line in Dakota.
Read it all and you will get its full mean
ing, as the heading and all is taken from
the advertisement, which is paid for by the
road:

What does this mean? What CAN it
mean? Surely there can be no misunder-
standing for it is plain business talk. 1t is
the statement of the company itself, and
should put at rest any doubt as to the COM
ing of the road to Bismarck. And this is
but one of the roads that are pointing to-
ward Bismarck, and it will have company
when it gets down to business in Dokota's
capital.
What are you doing about that bonus for
the Aberdeen, Bismarck & Northwestern
railroad? Do you know that the action Of
this road and the reported acceptance Of
it's proposition by Bismarck have hastened
the other roads to decisions on the ques-
ton of building in this direction? You
must realize these facts, and all sensible,
wide-awake men must know that the clos
ing of the contract with this company is
essential to an early opening Of che coming
season Of prosperity.
